Dirty Feet
This picture is taken outside on a porch on a farm in Greensboro, Alabama.
It seems to be daytime because you can see showdows from the children.
I can see four childrens dirty feet in the picture. The kind of look like they are
8 or 9 because they are pretty short. The clothes they are wearing are kind of all torn up
and look pretty old and stained and all the children are barefeet. The thing that
caught my eye first was how all the kids feet are crossed, it seems like they are trying to
only keep one foot on the ground at a time. If you just glance at this photo it may seem
like its tone is only light and there really is no meaning. But if you actually take
a minute to really look at it them you can see how it has its heavyness. This picture
seems pretty negative to me. Its showing how these children are too poor to buy shoes
but they work there tails off trying to get some money. Two Questiosn i might ask the
would be, Why did you take a picture of their feet and not their faces? And also what did
inspire you take the picture?

This is a picture of two people, a man and a women, they both look to be about in their 40s.
It was taken outside and it is day time. This is a rural picture because its on an open farm.
The thing that caught my eye first was how the women has a large box on her head and is carrying
a bucket. This struck me alot because people would always say that men did all the work
but this picture showed how women helped out alot too. In this picture there is also a wagon type thing
and a couple of trees in the close view. This picture seems pretty light to me and positive. I would ask the
photographer why he took a picture when the womens back was turned. I would also ask him why he took
it well the women had the box on her head.

A Walk Down Memory Lane
This picture was taken outside it looks like it is daylight but it also kind of seems like its
about to turn over to night time, because you can't see any sun. It looks like a rural place
because you can see a open feild like a farm maybe. You can see two women that look like they
are in their 30's maybe. They are wearing dresses that look like they have some sort of pattern
on them and hats to sheild their eyes from dust maybe. The thing that caught my eye was how
long the rode was. From the two women down to the last part of the rode i can see there doesn't
seem to be any thing inbetween so it looks like they have a long walk. The surronding structures only
include lots of open space. This picture has a light feeling and a positive effect. If i could ask the photograper
two questions i would ask him why he didn't take the picture from the front. And also why he took it from so far away.
